Volunteering

We are always happy to hear from prospective volunteers, whether as fundraisers, shore crew or seagoing crew members. For shore crew or seagoing crew members, you need to be located within 5 minutes of the lifeboat station and able to give a few days and evenings a month to training. You’ll also need to be able to commit to being available on call. For seagoing crew members, you need to be between the age of 18 and 49 on application, and be able to pass the RNLI’s medical. If you you’d like to volunteer and meet these criteria, please get in touch with us by using any of the options on the Contact Page. We look forward to hearing from you.
